Please Help! Find the real solutions of the equation by graphing. x^2-x+2=0
do you have a graphing calculator?
No i dont
I would make up a table of x y pairs pick some numbers like x= -3 up to +3, and find the y once you get a list of (x,y) points, plot them. Can you find the list of (x,y) points (as a first step) ??
well i tryed to solve the question like this x^2-x+2=0 (x-2)(x-1)=0 x=2 x=1 could I use these numbers?
in this question , no solution.
@ASAAD123 What do you mean it has it be a graph? What do you mean no solution
no, because (x-2)(x-1) multiplies out to x^2 -3x +2 It is not your equation. try finding some (x,y) pairs.
No real roots. Curve does not cross the x axis. Refer to the attachment.
@robtobey So its x=3
\[x=\frac{1}{2} \left(1\pm i \sqrt{7}\right) \]
I think I got it Thanks everyone! I'm not sure who to give a medal too?
the curve does not touch and pass through x-axis.
I don't want to ruffle any one's feathers on this site, however, in some circles this problem would be viewed as a "trick question".
Could someone help with this one Divide using synthetic division -3x^3+11x^2-x+20by(x-4)
\[-3 x^2-x-5 \]with no remainder.
This one says to use synthetic division and the given factor to completly factor the polynomial
Well the remainder is 120. Your job is to verify that the quotient is\[x^2+5 x+30 \]using synthetic division.
in the question 24x?
@ASAAD123 whats do you mean? Whats your question?
in the question,you write 24 without x.
you are right its x^3-x^2-24x-36;(x-6)
yup
Thanks soooo much!
